Although he never improved on his 17-7 rookie record in 1913, the slender Boehling turned in several solid seasons for Washington. He dropped out of baseball for several years, then returned for a lengthy minor league career. (JK)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » May 14, 1913: At St. Louis, Walter Johnson tops Jack Coombs record of 53 straight scoreless innings when he stretches the record to 56 innings. But after Washington scores six runs, Johnson lets up against the Browns and Del Pratt's 4th inning single drives in a run that snaps the skein. Ahead 9–1, Johnson is relieved by Joe Boehling and Washington wins, 10–5. » June 18, 1915: Ty Cobb steals home twice in a game against Washington, on the front end of double and triple steals. Both steals come with Joe Boehling on the mound. Bull Henry is the starting catcher, but he leaves in the first inning with a spike wound from Cobb. The 5th-inning steal is with Buff Williams behind the plate. The steals make the difference in the 5–3 Detroit win.
